Chelsea have agreed to release Maurizio Sarri to Juventus after finally agreeing a compensation package that could be worth over £5million.

And that will now free the Blues to step up talks over a potential return to Stamford Bridge for club legend Frank Lampard.

...

The fee received for Sarri should more than cover any compensation needed to buy Lampard out of his Derby County contract if he is deemed the right man to step in.

Lampard has a number of backers inside Stamford Bridge and, despite some fears over the fact he has managed for just a year with Derby in the Championship, sources put the chances of his return as high as 80 per cent.

Chelsea’s young players have been excitedly exchanging messages over the prospect of Lampard and his assistant Jody Morris returning, and what it would do for their playing prospects.

My immediete thought in regards to Lamps is how he's going to setup the midfield. Wonder if he'll fancy Jorginho and if so, in what role? I really don't want him sold. 

[Blue Armour 4,336]

Lampard, Jody Morris...maybe even Drogba if he's interested in helping out with coaching.

If we're really going to rely on the youth as the case seems for next season then let's do that

Think any manager that comes in and benches or worse, gets rid of Jorginho would be making a serious mistake. Guys shown more than enough times this season particularly in the last 10 or 15 matches he is more than good enough.

Might alter Sarris 433 to a double (yuck) pivot. With Kante playing closer to him.

I might be thinking heart over head here.., but it has always been a longitme dream that one of DD, JT, Lamps would one day manage the club. Am never going to say no, if that is indeed a possibility.

Like Drogba himself said : 

“I think it is a very good option for the club.

“Is he ready for the job? Well, when is he ever going to be ready?"

“Does he have to wait until he is 40 or 50 to be ready? I think it depends on your experience and depends on your desire to succeed and do it.

“If he feels ready I don’t think it is too early. Every summer is big at Chelsea. Every summer is big.”

Frank Lampard to become Chelsea’s first English manager in 23 years. Jody Morris will follow Lampard to Chelsea as his assistant. Petr Cech signing as the Sporting Director.

I'm so excited by this.

Been reading on here why this manager would be good and why that manager would be bad, it's been laughable.

Lamps for me is top of the list, love the guy, if he does well or he doesn't whatever that means, just give him time he'll come through.

Welcome home Frank

Don't think Lampard is ready for this level. He has ONE YEAR of managerial experience, in the Championship and was regularly out thought by leeds and villa. 

There's no world class big names out there, so going for a bit of risk is fine. I have no idea why we don't go for Eddie Howe. Plays good football, consistently done well with Bournemouth. He's flexible, not scared to play 2 strikers. Has experience against City, Liverpool and Tottenham. 

He deserves a shot at the top in my opinion. Wait until Lampard is ready

BUt hE IssNt RedDy YeT!!! 

100% agree mate. Ones in here have regurgitated the same old shit for weeks. He didn't bring Derby up, he's not ready, he hasn't proved himself. Personally I am properly excited about it. I don't care about his stats or whatever. Man bleeds Chelsea. Jody knows the youth inside out. Bring them in, give them time. Can't wait

[Special Juan 27,524]

Lampard back will be fucking great IMO. I've read it all about he won't do this and he wont do that, he's average, he did nothing with Derby etc etc.

This club is now under a transfer embargo, our best player has left and the previous manager didn't want to be here. The last manager had zero connection with the fans and club, this move ticks those boxes. The biggest trap the club can fall into is setting great heights for Frank in this first season, how the fuck can you without buying? Introduce younger players, let RLC, CHO and Mount flourish by playing them all the time and get the smiles back, drama away and play good football and compete.

Superrrrrrrrrrrrr Superrrrrrrrrrrrrr Frank

I'll be just as critical to Lampard as I was with Sarri. Nostalgic tactics from the board won't work for me. 

EDIT: Also regarding what Drogba said, what is he supposed to say? Him and Lamps are best mates. He is not going to say "I don't think he's ready" to the media! What does that say about their friendship if that happens?

Nice spin from Drogba, saying "Well, when is he ever going to be ready? When he's 40/50?" No Didi! He doesn't have to be 40 or 50. What he could have done is take Derby to the PL. Show that you have this small Derby team fierce. Lamps is building a project with Derby and now he is going to abandon it. This also shows poor integrity.

Mana this is just the sort of negative feed back i'm talking about, what Lamps can't do because of this what Lamps can't do because of that.

If you don't know by now we need Lamps here, then sadly you never will.

And that goes for all the other doubters as well, probably going to take flak for that comment but I don't care
